“Our capacity for regulating ourselves is a neuro-biological trait, not some socially learned phenomena that you just happen to pick up from your parents.”
Can someone point me to more from Dr. Barkley about self-regulation? The good news is that self-regulation is now one of the central objectives of our Kindergarten program – and identified as being critical to learning throughout the school years and beyond. (Ontario). This trait is no longer expected to be picked up along the way as children learn their ABCs – it’s part of our curriculum. That being said, change happens slowly….and if ADHD is a neuro-biological deficit in this area, then we adults need to understand what approaches are most effective in supporting children to develop/strengthen what they DO have and to learn strategies to deal with with any deficits.
